Use and Acceptance of a Digital Support for In-Home Task Completion by People Living with Brain Injury

This study, conducted by the clinical research team at Shepherd Center, evaluated acceptance and use of the MapHabit System (MHS), a customizable visual mapping app designed to support activities of daily living (ADLs), exercises, and educational content for people with acquired brain injury (ABI). MHS delivers step-by-step visual, audio, and text-based guides on smartphones or tablets to help users and caregivers build routines and complete tasks. Thirty-seven participants with ABI used the app on a provided tablet for three months, during which their interactions with the software were automatically recorded. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention interviews assessing usability, ease of learning, utility, and satisfaction. The shared dataset includes all pre- and post-intervention interview responses.
